REFLECTOR: Canard CW fairings

[Jim Agnew]

I used 4" round stainless steel louvered boat vents and used small screws and a dab of silicone glue to hold them in place I just glued some fiberglass screen on the inside to keep criters out.  Face the louvers to the rear and they do a great job of cabin air exhaust.  best of all is they have beveled edges and hang down about 3/16 of an inch!

drop shaped bolt hole covers, 2 for the top and 2 for the bottom. The 2 big-ole 
reverse scoops cover the wing bolt access holes on the bottom of the spar and 
provide cabin air exhaust.

>>I'm curious how most folks have been  attaching the Canard Counterweight Fairings.  My manual says nothing. The on-line manual says put into place with silicone  once painting is done. I suppose that would work, but wouldn't it look better  to blend them in permanently with a layer of BID?

>>My old kit also came with  big-ole lower bolt hole covers for the wing. These look like reverse scoops.  Seems like it would look cleaner to cover them the same way as the TOP bolt  hole cover (thin painted metal teardrop, siliconed into  place.
